Qing court ladies

Chapter 61
"Aunt Suyue, Lord Long Live has made an order to have dinner with the crown prince." Liang Qing, the little apprentice of Liang Jiugong, broke the curtain and came in to announce, with a ghostly look.

"Understood, thank you, father-in-law." Su Yue stood up and responded, smiling and thanking her.Liang Qing's words have been brought, and there is still work ahead, so it is inconvenient to stay longer, so he nodded and left.

Suyue stayed in the anteroom all the time, reading a book, occasionally chatting with Linxiang about tea, and Linyu suppressed her temper, sitting aside and listening carefully, occasionally asking a few questions.

Just after the first shift, Gui An opened the curtain and walked in, looking at Su Yue with some surprise, she smiled and said to Su Yue, "Grandma, why are you waiting here, have you eaten?"

Su Yue was amused by Gui'an's appearance, she gave a smirk, and put down the book in her hand, "I should be on duty today, and I'll eat before I come. Besides, I'm not a child, so I can still starve myself"

Gui An frowned, "But the medicine is always taken on time, how can this be done in advance?"

"Xiao You is here, he said he doesn't need to take medicine, you don't have to worry." Su Yue is a little funny, Gui An is a little too nervous.

As soon as Gui'an heard Xiao You's order, all the worries on his face disappeared immediately, and he smiled again, "Then why don't you go in?"

"The crown prince is here, how can I break in? Leave me alone and go on your own." Su Yue was busy dismissing Gui'an, she disliked Gui'an too much.

"I'm just here to ask for a cup of tea." Gui'an raised the teacup in his hand to show Su Yue, which meant that he would not leave and had nothing to do to leave.

Su Yue was helpless, nodded and said, "Then take it easy, I will continue to read, don't bother me", implying, stop nagging her.Everyone likes someone to care, but this concern is too nagging, and she always repeats a few words, which makes her seem a little sad, but Su Yue is grateful in her heart, and just wants to have a moment of quietness in her ears.

Gui'an was not dissatisfied, drinking tea alone and sitting on a chair.After not resting for a long time, I heard shallow footsteps outside, Your Excellency Gui'an had tea, straightened his clothes and went out.

Su Yue raised her head and stared at the door curtain. Although the voice outside the door was low, Su Yue knew that the dinner should be withdrawn. Su Yue knew that she should go in. She got up and straightened her clothes, smiled at Linxiang, and went directly to In the main hall, Gui Xiang at the door looked at Su Yue and nodded slightly.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of Dongnuange, there was the voice of the crown prince resigning from inside. Qiu Yu stood by the door and smiled at Su Yue.

Su Yue hurriedly stepped back and stood aside, saluted the prince, and the prince nodded towards Su Yue and left.

"My maidservant greets Lord Long Live, and Lord Long Live is auspicious." Su Yue entered, Kangxi was drinking tea on the couch, looking at Su Yue, a little surprised.

"Why are you here?" Kangxi put down the teacup and waved for people to leave.

The job of "servant on duty today" is getting more and more strange.

Kangxi nodded and asked Suyue to sit down, "It's good to be here, these days I have to deal with ministers' books and read secret books, so I'm really busy." Kangxi rubbed his forehead, showing his exhaustion.

Only now did Su Yue notice that the couch was full of booklets, even Kangxi still had them, so she couldn't help being a little surprised, "Why are there so many booklets?"

Kangxi returned the booklet to Su Yue, and leaned on the soft pillow behind him, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

Su Yue read the past book by book, only then did she realize that so many things have happened. The governor of Liangjiang, Rong Ha, was corrupted by corruption, causing some people to riot. People have a headache.

Lin Yi, the former prefect of Zhejiang, made his own decisions and opened the army granary. He was ordered by Kangxi to be imprisoned, but died suddenly in prison. He was accused of committing suicide in fear of crime. It is not simple, so if there is something hidden in the matter of the prefect of Zhejiang, Kangxi may feel uncomfortable again, and how will the people of the world think about it.

There are also Mizhe, alluding to the people of the Eight Banners, relying on their status as banner people, they are arrogant and rude, oppressing the Han people, and even arbitrarily using the Han people as farmers, enclosing land for land, with bad deeds.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs has been notified of the loan for a long time. Since now, no one in the Eight Banners has consciously returned the loan. The Ministry of Internal Affairs and the national treasury are empty and urgent.

Su Yue put down the notebook in her hand, she really had a headache, it was the first time she saw that the things written in the notebook were not repeated, and each of them was extremely nerve-wracking.

"You've only seen so much, it's like this." Kangxi asked amusedly, looking at Su Yue's frown, as if looking at himself, I'm afraid that's what he was like before.

Su Yue smiled wryly, "Long live God is a sage, and slaves are little girls. The two are in the sky and on earth, they are not the same, let alone compared."

Kangxi got up and took the booklet at hand and tapped Suyue on the head, "Continue to read these"

Su Yue's face was full of pain, and she took the leaflet, which was from the Thirteenth Yamen, and the content was that since the elder brother was named the queen of the county, there was an endless stream of people coming and going in the mansion, even Mingzhu was very busy.Su Yue got up and propped herself up on the couch, took all the folders around Kangxi, and read them one by one.

There are both Yinzhen and Yinhu's booklets. Yinzhen closed the door to thank the guests, and no one saw him. Except for going to court and going to the Ministry of Households every day, he never went to other places.

This is the first time I have met Yinhu's Zhezi Suyue. Yinhu is now working in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He handles affairs well and is good at dancing. If there is a slight mistake, no matter whether it is the person who comes to the door or the person who reads this booklet, I am afraid that they will not hate these words.Suyue has never seen such a Yinhu, Yinhu has always been a child in front of Suyue, a cute and lively, beautiful child, Suyue has never seen the appearance written in the brochure.

An hour later, Su Yue put down the notebook and rubbed the corners of her eyes.When Kangxi was fighting, things were not as many as they are now.

"My servant thought that the battle was busy, but now I know that it's not worth mentioning." Su Yue moistened her throat, folded the booklet she had read, and put it beside her.

Kangxi was waiting to review the papers, and never raised his head, "External troubles are easy to calm, and internal troubles are hard to get rid of"

Seeing that the lamps and candles were almost exhausted, Su Yue replaced them with new ones and added another one before returning to Kangxi's words, "Foreign troubles are the same as external affairs, but internal troubles are one person against a group of people, so it is naturally not easy."

"You have a point of view in what you said. After reading so much, let's talk about it one by one." Kangxi handed the approved booklet to Su Yue, took a new one and read it again.

"I don't know where to start. Why don't you ask the Lord Long Live and the maidservant to answer" Su Yue is not sure about some things, not to mention the book about Yinzhen and Yinhu. Relatives are unwilling to say it, and those who are far away say that they are afraid that Kangxi will think of other things, so it is better to let Kangxi take the lead.

"For the matter of the governor of Liangjiang, the ministers asked me to severely punish him. It is best to kill him in Liangjiang to outrage the common people. As for the matter of Lin Yi, the prefect of Zhejiang, let me order a thorough investigation. If there is any other reason, then Deal with it again." Kangxi's eyes were filled with melancholy.

"Long live Lord, I think there is something inside the Liangjiang governor's matter," Su Yue asked back.

Kangxi raised his head and glared at Suyue, "I told you to tell me, why do you keep asking me everywhere?"

Su Yue froze, and hurriedly corrected, "The matter of the governor of Liangjiang must be thoroughly investigated, but the most important thing now is to appease the people. After the thorough investigation, it would be best if he could be killed in front of the people there. In order to relieve the anger in the hearts of the people, they have more confidence in the court and Long Live. The matter of the Zhejiang prefect is definitely not simple. Don't be sympathetic, the most likely thing is grievances. I am afraid that the Long Live Lord will personally explain to the world. However, this matter is also an opportunity. If you get close to the minister, you will lose a few more."

Kangxi looked at Suyue with a smile, and put down the pen in his hand, "Tell me who you think it will be"

Su Yue looked terrified, "Your maidservant can't talk nonsense, let alone think indiscriminately, besides, this servant girl only knows a few ministers."

Kangxi was amused by Su Yue's appearance, "I know what you said, but what I want you to say is not this, it's possible that you don't know, or you don't want to say it"

Su Yue lowered her head and sighed, thinking to herself, she knew it wasn't that simple, "I know what Long Live God wants to hear, but I don't know how to say it. If I stand in the position of common people, I naturally hope that Long Live God can kill all the corrupt officials in the world." , to return the world to peace. But standing in the position of the Long Live Lord, the servant girl knows that the Long Live Lord wishes to kill them all, but the roots are intertwined, and if they cannot be killed, it will lead to even greater disasters. I know it should be said to let the Long Live Lord clean it up once, or keep it for big fish."

Kangxi sighed, perhaps feeling extremely exhausted, "Since I ascended the throne, I have been in charge for many years, and I have been busy day and night, hoping for peace in the world.

Su Yue looked at Kangxi's clenched fist, the pain between her brows, and her heart was heavy.Since he was by Kangxi's side, for many years, even during wars, it was common for him to review paperwork until the third watch and the fourth watch. He was indeed diligent and tried his best to bring peace to the world, but he was too weak after all, beyond his power.

"Long live Lord, the world will be clear when the officials are cleared up. Long live Lord's strategy and balance are not a blessing for the people." Kangxi's balancing method is to allow Kangxi to stabilize the imperial power, but after all, there are advantages and disadvantages. For the people, they don't care who the Son of Heaven is, what they care about is having food and clothing, a family and a family.

"You can figure out the accounts of the Ministry of Internal Affairs." Kangxi changed the subject and approved the papers as if nothing had happened, as if it was just Su Yue's illusion.

"Well, counting this year, all the numbers have been written down by the maidservant, and Long Live Lord wants to see it," Su Yue asked.

"Tell me what you said." Kangxi didn't intend to read it.

"The money lent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs totaled more than 4208 million taels. During the three campaigns against Geldan, the Ministry of Internal Affairs spent 650 million taels. Now the Ministry of Internal Affairs has a surplus of more than 1809 million taels. As for the expenses of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it exceeds every year. 20 taels, up to more than 50 taels." Su Yue reported the number, and every time Kangxi heard a sentence, his expression turned ugly.
